Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine (10) includes a translating sleeve (38) disposed within a downstream portion of an outer nacelle (20). A variable area fan exhaust nozzle (30) is defined between the trailing edge (32) of the translating sleeve (38) and a conical core cowl (26) disposed radially inwardly of the outer nacelle (20) and spaced apart therefrom. The translating sleeve (38) translates downstream to cooperate with the decreasing diameter of the core cowl (26) to increase the area of the fan exhaust nozzle (30).
